UNnEALTHFUL OCCUPATIONS.

When the air we breathe is contaminat-
ed by stagnation, by breathing, by fires or
artificial light, sueh as candles, lamps and
gas, it operates as a poison and injuries the
constitution. People seem to think that
| wholesome food and drink are much more
important than pure air, and their reason
of so thinking is because air is an invisible
substance. Crowds of mechanics Of all
kinds, are frequently pent up from MORN
ing to night, without even thinking of
hour for the admission of fresh air. When
in England one-fifth of all the deaths are
from pulmonary consumption in France
one-sixth; in Germany one-seyenth; and in
our own country one-eighth; and when We
| see the earelessness on every hand aboui
| what we breathe, it is not difficult to dis
| cover the cause of such a fearful mortality,
and also it is not difficult to discover the
remedy. As things are now it eaInot be
denied that some occupations are more un-
| healthful than others, and yet the differ
ences. in a sanitary sense, could be greatly
! lessened. City people are more subject to
pulmonary diseases than those of the
country, and this need not be; at least
while there is so free a circulation of pure
air in the city, a better use could be made
of what there is.
Sedentary ~employments are less favor
able than the active kinds, yet the manner
and posture can work marked modiiea
tions. A dust laden atmosphere is th'
most difficult evil to face. To environ the
worker with a pure atmosphere is possible.

Equal PAY FOR EQGAL wORK

We heard a young man growing 4 few

crowded themselves into '-men's posi-

that his grandmother and her daughters
did the spinning and weaving for all the
household linen and the clothing Of the
family, that they made the garments, the
butter and cheese, the pickles, the jams
and preserves. the soap and the candles.
To-day, men have great factories where
such things are made, aud nine-tentiis Of
the work done by machines or men. Then
there was work in the home for every
woman and girl; o many must be idle
or hunt for something to do away from
home, because men are filling the places
and doing that which was then considered
hers. Driven by the overwhelming COM
petition of men from the work Of prepar-
ing household necessities, she has been
obliged to reach ont for some way of
earning a livelihood, and it seems so I'M
manly in a great, stout young fellow to
complain because she has shown herself
capable of filling places where he had
failed. Out upon such folly! If a woman
or girl is capable of doing a piece of work
as well as a man, give her an equal chance
with him, and pay her the same for doing
it as you would him. The man is simply

might do. or who, as an employer, pays

SCIE NITRIC.


There arc three forms of atmospheric
electricity, viz Auroras, st. Elmo's fire
and lightning. st. Elmo's fire is o~ftenest
seen at sea, playing about the masts OF
vessels. 1t appears about points, some
times flaming up two feet high. Auroras
are always accompanied by magnetic
storms, showing that they probably de-
pend upon disturbances of the electricity
of the atmosphere.
Lightning appears in three forms, sheet,
zigzag and globular. The two former are
very common and known to all. The lat
ter is rarely seen and its existence has been
doubted by persons who have never seen it.
But the evidence of its occasional appear
ance is too strong to be cast aside. An in
stance was cited in which a ball of light
ming had been followed for two miles. 1t
moves slowly and has never been known to
harm any person. An instance was nara
ted in which a pig was killed by a fireball.
The ball was seen slowly rolling over the
surface of the ground, and the pig going
up to it rooted it over with his nose. and
SIT was bad for the pig"

HOME.

Most Americans do not have homes; they
have merely places to stay, where the
father can read his newspaper, the mother
ply the sewing machine, and the children
make molasses candy or have annual
birthday parties. But the idea of a heart
center, where love is cherished, thoughts
are fostered, and morals expanded, is APP
parently unheard of in their philosophy.
Materfamilias goes to church on Sundays
without an idea that she is leaving the
hottest temple behind her., of which she
is high priestess, and if you should disseet
her brain you would find that in the corner
devoted to necessities the strata OF
cloths, cooks and sewing girls, and roast
turkey, fill up all but the smallest revice
conscienciously set aside for religious belief
and church membership,

THE CnAMBERED NAUTILUS.

This is the ship of pearl, which, poets fcign,
Sails the unshadowed main,-
The vent7rous bark that filings
On the sweet summer wind its purple wings
In CULTS enchanted, where The siren sings,
And coral reefs lie bare,
Where the cold sca-maids rise 10 sun thei1
streaming lair.
It's webs o fliving gauze no more %unfurl;
Wrecked is the ship of pearl,
And every ehambered cell,
Where its dim dreaming life was wont 10
dwell,
As the frail tenant shaped his growing she'll,
Before thee lies revealed
It's irised ceiling rent, its sunless crypt un.
sealed.
Year after year beheld the silent toll
That spread his l%ustrous coil;
sill, rs the spiral grew,
lie left the past years dwelling for the new,
Stole with soft step its shining archway
Built up its idle door,
stretched in his last-found home, and knew
the old no more.
Thanks for the heavenly message brought by
thee,
Child of the wandering sea-,
Cast from her lap forlorni
From thy dead lips q clearer note is born
Than ever Triton blew from wreathed horn.
While in mine car it rings,
Through The deep caves of thought l hear a
voice that sings
Build thee more stately mansions, o my soul,
As the swift seasons ROLL
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, noblcr than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with n dome more vast,
Till thou at length are free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by lifc's unrest
ing sea!

THE FOES OF PLANT-IlFE.

The foes of plant-life abound. These
foes consist not only of the large and the
small of animal life, but also of a great
variety of minute vegetable organisms
which live upon and derive their nourish-
ment from the higher forms of plants, and
are Familiarity known as different kinds of
rusts, smuts and mildew. All these injure
and destroy more or less of our cultivated
plants. Cultivated plants are apparently
more infested with parasites and predatory
insects than wild ones, and undoubtedly
they really are. Although the same in
sects and the same forms of fungi may at
tack a plant in its wild as in its cultivated
state, yet from the fact that in the latter
case large numbers Of the plants are ag-
~gregated, so their foes are brought together
within a small range, and we are enabled
to perceive them, when in a wild state they
would remain for the most part unnoticed;
but that there is q numerical increase of
individuals there can be no doubt, the
changed conditions ofthe plants in various
ways making them more attractive to their
pests and more capable of supporting
them. Thus, while the farmer, the gar
dener and the iruit-grower increases his
crops, he also makes more favorable the
opportunities for their destruction. The
attention of the successful cultivator can
not, therefore, be confined to the mere
routine of the direct means of rearing and
gathering his crops, but must also be di-
rected with great care TO the habits OF
those enemies which constantly threaten
their injury and destruction VicA's Nag

How easily butter takes a faint. Says
the american DairgmaH: A few weeks
ago we saw a large dairy farmer, whose
butter brings a price high above the mar
ket, carting out manure. The carts went
within sixty feet OF the dairy, and so they
were covered with hay caps or canvas
covers, which enabled them to pass and
make very little smell. A gentleman
farmer has been furnishing a fashionable
district in this city with really most excel
lent butter from his herd of fancy COWS.
The demand for the butter vas in excess
ofthe supply, and sthe goose hung high
Suddenly the butter was anyway of.
What could be the matter The grass
fields neal the dairy had been manfred,
and the butter had taken the odor straight
10 the tables of city consumers. So we
live ana learn, but experience is a rough
teacher sometimes.

A VERY REMARKABLE BOUQUET.

The King of Holland received, on his
SEVENTEEN birthday, a very remarkable gift
from the queen. Her majesty, upon con-
graduating the king, told him that she lad
a large bouquet for him, but it was so
heavy thai she had asked the ladies in
waiting to bring it in. The door was
opened, and several ladies entered, carry
ing an immense bouquet, which they placed
before the king. His majesty was greatly
surprised when suddenly the top of the
bouquet opened, and the head of his infant
daughter peeped through the flowers. The
king was delighted with the Pretty sur
prise, which We should think has not been
equaled since the days of the "iour aud
